Dutchtown has been in existence less than 20 years and has 5 NFLers.
Eddie Lacy
Eric Reid
Justin Reid
Landon Collins
Lloyd Cushenberry
I’m sure Catholic BR, Evangel, West Monroe and some of the Catholic NO schools have more.

Ouachita Christian is a sleeper baseball school

For producing the largest per capita amount of raging douchebags, Catholic BR has to be mentioned.

Lots have come from St Charles Parish. Hahnville and Destrehan. There was a segment on it at one time wondering what contributed to it. The Landry brothers, Jefferson brothers, Alfred Blue, Ed Reed and the punter from Destrehan that I can’t remember his name now just to name a few.

One thing that skews the numbers in and around NOLA / Jeff parish is the Catholic League and of course John Curtis.
The Westbank has done WORK for decades but for a couple decades now alot of those athletes started crossing the river instead of going to Shaw like they did in the 80s and 90s.
St Aug has done so well because it has it's market that won'e be skewed by just results on the field or a bad coaching hire. They've been consistently going after the same kind of kid with the same basic approach to athletic (and academic) development for 50+ years.
Kids deciding between Rummel, Shaw, Jesuit and Brother Martin aren't usually like kids deciding between St Aug and any other school.
St Aug kids are frequently St Aug kids at birth and for life.

Louisiana is a rich environment for athletes, in my neighborhood a guy down the street from where I grew up is an NFL HoF qb, the qb before him signed with LSU, the one after with Arkansas, his little brother played a couple of years in the NFL, from the same school was Robert Parish, Mike Rose, and Johnny Booty, and those were just qbs(except for Rose and Parish,) lots of other position players played college/pro, other sports too, there was a guy down the street that also played for the Cincinnati Reds, growing up in that environment we just thought that's the way it was everywhere, used to work with Pat Mason, he signed with LSU and ended up playing at SLU, about half of my football team in hs played some level of college football

Franklin High at one point produced more NFL guys than anyone else (70’s-90’s)
The big city power houses & River Parish Schools for sure historically.
Right now, no one is doing it better than Westgate, which was only established in 1998—Kayshon Boutte, Derek Williams (Texas), Danny Lewis (Bama), the DL committed to LSU, and they have a 5 star DB. Several smaller school kids going out. Not to mention NFL players Tyrunn Walker & Dionte Spencer. Snack Williams went to Westgate early in his career. LSU great Jared Mitchell. Josh Boutte (OL who decleated the Wisconsin DB after the whistle…lol).
Patterson High produced Dalton Hilliard (LSU), Ivory Hilliard (LSU), Kenny Hilliard (LSU), Ike Hilliard (Florida) — maybe the biggest football name in Louisiana after the Mannings
Mike Calais (LSU), Anthony Skinner (LSU), Lorenzo Phillips (LSU/FSU), Joey Crappell (LSU), Daylon Charlot (Bama/Kansas), Mykel Jones (OU)….they have a lot of others who played major college ball. None as of late though.
